1 / 12Limavady Cottage
Limavady, County Londonderry
A single storey three bedroom cottage for six near Limavady with a fully enclosed garden wrapping the whole house, a wood burner and one dog welcome, under the Binevenagh escarpment.
The lawn goes all the way round the house. Limavady Cottage is a single storey dog friendly cottage in farmland under Binevenagh, and its garden is enclosed on every side, so a dog let out of one door can walk a full circuit of the building and reach another still inside the fence. It sleeps six across three bedrooms and takes one dog.
It is a renovation that kept the good bones. The lounge holds a wood burner set into an inglenook, with windows big enough to make something of the country outside, and the kitchen and dining room sit under one long arched window. A utility room off the hall takes the wet coats and whatever the dog has carried home in its feet, which is the room this kind of holiday is won in. Two doubles and a twin run along one corridor, one double with its own shower room.
Everything on one floor is the other quiet advantage, and it compounds with the garden: no stairs at either end of the day and no gate to check before a door opens. Outside there is a table, chairs and a barbecue set on the grass. The dog spends the last hour of the afternoon patrolling one side of the house, then the other, then giving up on both.
This is the Binevenagh corner of the Derry coast and the ground is unusually good. The summit walk climbs to a basalt escarpment 3.2 miles off, Lough Foyle and the Donegal hills laid out underneath it. North of that, Downhill Strand opens into a long run of sand below Mussenden Temple. A dog gets cliff, forest and beach inside one week here without the car doing much work.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Limavady Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Limavady Cottage welcomes one dog. It's a particularly well-suited place for a dog holiday — the garden is fully enclosed all the way around the single storey building, so your dog can roam freely outside without you needing to worry about escape routes or checking gates every time a door opens.
Are dogs allowed at Limavady Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given the cottage's practical setup — a utility room for wet coats and muddy paws, an enclosed garden and single storey layout — it feels designed with year-round dog visits in mind.
What should I know before visiting Limavady Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes one dog, so it's not the right fit for multi-dog households. On the plus side, the setup is genuinely thoughtful: a fully enclosed wraparound garden means no fencing gaps to scout out, and there's a utility room off the hall for drying off after walks — handy given how much good walking there is on the doorstep, from the Binevenagh summit to Downhill Strand.
